Description
The Valencia is a half-lantern outdoor wall light cast from die-cast aluminium with a black powder-coated finish, designed to sit flush against exterior walls. The lantern frame holds clear glass panels on three sides, with an E27 bulb holder inside (bulb sold separately, maximum 60W). The design follows a traditional coach lantern silhouette with a tapered roof cap and moulded base detail.
Designed for porches, front doors, covered patios and exterior corridor lighting, the Valencia suits properties where a full lantern projection would obstruct a narrow walkway or pathway. At 130mm projection from the wall and 440mm height, the fitting provides downward and sideways light distribution without extending far into the space. The IP54 rating protects the internal bulb holder from dust ingress and rain splashes, making it suitable for positions under eaves, canopies or in recessed doorways where direct rainfall hits the fitting.
The die-cast aluminium body resists corrosion better than pressed steel alternatives and carries a 5-year manufacturer guarantee. Norlys specifies no coastal exclusion zone for this fitting, meaning it can be installed in seaside locations without voiding the guarantee, provided salt deposits are rinsed periodically. The black powder coat is baked onto the metal during manufacture rather than applied as a surface spray, giving better adhesion and resistance to chips and scratches from garden maintenance or accidental contact.
The clear glass panels are held in a hinged frame on the front face, allowing bulb changes without removing the entire fitting from the wall. Most users pair the Valencia with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-8W to replicate the appearance of a traditional gas lantern while keeping running costs low.

Frequently Asked
What does the IP54 rating mean for outdoor use?
IP54 means the fitting is dust-protected and can withstand water splashes from any direction. It is suitable for covered outdoor positions such as porches, under eaves, or in recessed doorways. It is not rated for full submersion or direct exposure to heavy sustained rainfall without overhead cover.
What bulb should I use?
The Valencia takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W maximum. Most users fit a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-8W and 2200K-2700K to replicate a traditional gas lantern appearance while keeping energy consumption low.
Can I install this near the coast?
Yes. Norlys specifies no coastal exclusion zone for the Valencia, meaning the 5-year guarantee remains valid in seaside locations. Periodic rinsing of salt deposits with fresh water is recommended to maintain the finish and prevent long-term corrosion around fixings.
How is the bulb changed?
The front glass panel is held in a hinged frame. Release the catch at the base of the frame, swing the panel open, replace the bulb, and close the frame. The fitting does not need to be removed from the wall for bulb changes.
